My photo of Erik Madigan Heck’s photo of James Harden, in 2018, inkjet print, courtesy of Staley-Wise Gallery. Original photo © Erik Madigan Heck. Part of the Icons of Style: A Century of Fashion Photography at Houston’s Museum of Fine Arts. James Harden is an American professional basketball player for the Brooklyn Nets.
In this building you can see three levels of cells. The wide hallway is where they would show movies. Some medical services and haircuts. Phone booths -3 only.
Below, where the stairs are, contain the dungeons where serious criminals were kept. You can see they had limited light and seclusion. One man was sent there for 30 years before he died - a mass murderer.
The two images look in opposite direction down the same hall and I took them a couple hours apart.
It is suggested as a prisoner better not to snore at night!
Peace and freedom and justice and the law were broken by the police during the demonstration in Berlin;
the government, which is responsible for it,
now shows its true totalitarian face shamelessly open.
Now everything that was feared for months is coming true -
wake up, people all over the world,
and try to stop this development all together!
[29. August 2020]
A wonderful day, took lots of shots, so not going to waste any! People in the valley were walking around in the foggy gloom, with rather glum faces, people up here were jogging, bike riding, dog walking etc, all smiles and greetings 'isn't it a lovely day' ......just shows how the conditions affect us. Minus 4C today.
I've been trying to capture this in the right light for a couple of years now and finally this evening I think I might have captured what i wanted. This Stone Circle is almost hidden away on the moors and I wanted to capture it as the sun was setting
The shackle of a rusty padlock.
Please enlarge to see the rusty detail.
Reverse mounted my lens to give a greater macro ability.
This is a folly which was built by Benjamin Ferrand in 1796. The folly was erected by him so that he could see it from his residence at Harden Grange. It was built as a ruin, following the Gothic fashion of his day, and is sited in privately owned ancient woodland known as Cottingley Park.
"So many things these eyes have seen
People I've met and places I've been
Inconceivable how one maintains
In the game with the pain and the strain on the brain
How reality's plane can wear you down
And make you an insane man who only frowns
City hardened and cold just like me
Anger has numbed my eyes from all they see
From all they see" ♪
... but the other horses stayed out of the photo.

An unnamed creek that drains the ice fields surrounding Mount Hoge fans out to reveal the many pathways chosen over the course of hundreds of spring floods as the water readies itself to join the Donjek River which is out of the frame to the right, Kluane National Park, Yukon.
Once the Glacier first came into view, its vast terminus dominated the landscape for miles as we pushed our way southward along the River’s east bank following game trails that bore the signs of Grizzly, Moose, and what were likely Wolf tracks. Though the days remained long, evening began to introduce herself, trailing tresses of lengthening shadow and rich colorful tones. We traveled further than expected on the previous day, so we thought to make camp in a place with a captivating view and stop early enough to allow time to explore the River and the place where the ice arrived at the end of its tortuous and crushing journey.
On the terrain east of the river where we walked, swales filled with sedge and lined with willow ran in narrow strips between heaved, billowing ridges comprised of moraine, cast-off material flung by the immense, sculpting artistry of the mountains themselves. Cresting one of these hills we encountered the scene here, where the ravages of the spring floods presented themselves overtly, leaving no doubt that powerful currents shape this place and give it its life.
After descending through the golden foreground trees and negotiating the cut-bank to gain access to the floodplain, we searched the opposite bench for a place to pitch the tent. Rather than immediately finding anything suitable for the tent, I noticed the print of a Grizzly’s rear foot hardened into the mud - it was more than a foot long (30+ cm) and likely 7-8 inches wide (18-20 cm). Clearly made by a large creature. Just a reminder to make good choices while living amongst dear Ursus, nothing more. We pitched our tent in the elevated meadow above the opposite side of the creek, then hung the food a good distance away off amongst the spruce trees. Finally, we followed the floodplain to the River to find out just what the ice and water had wrought.
I've been a bit tardy catching up with Flickr after the holidays, but I hope to see folks' recent images soon!
Determined, hardened feral feline climbs wall as guards blast him... with 00 ought catnip!!!
Questioned after his capture, "Rusty LeRoux" (aka, "Bengal") was asked why he tried to escape.
LeRoux said, "I am a newborn kitten and I just wanted a better life for myself".
Prison officials said he wouldn't have made it far on the outside due to his home-made prison stripe tattoos and hardcore personality.
The warden was overheard saying, "Once they are indoctrinated to prison life they never stay straight, they always come back, one way or another".
The struggle is real...
(This is a feral cat...)
Harden is a small country town in NSW, full of history. The surrounding farmland is full of charming rural scenes - a photographers dream.
I have met these ethnic Tibetan boy in his native village on 2,380 m altitude in Manaslu area (Nepal). You may not find in the whole world such an independent and self confident children like those in Himalayas who live a simple natural life. While parents are busy working on the farm, these kids learn empirically the world around them. In such a harsh environment for children from the first years had to become self-sufficient.
Though my mother of 9 was a gentle soul, she had been hardened through the knocks of life. As a young child, a doctor operated on her on the kitchen table at the farm and at the age of 17 with a pile of siblings in the back seat, she drove a car much like the one shown from Havelock, Iowa to Frankfort, South Dakota over 300+ miles to a new home, much of the way over unpaved roads. As a young woman her hands were more used to farm chores than expensive manicures and she would not have understood the self worship of selfies taken by cell phones.

They do not have the slightest knowledge of the achievements of industrial civilization, but it does not prevent them becoming strong, harmonious, happy and whole person.
